"I really love working on my Learning Chess lessons and it brings me a lot of satisfaction! Throughout my life, I've always wanted to learn how to play (really play) chess. I developed an interest in it later in life and learning it from friends and books never really did the trick. Finding the Learning Chess program has fit the bill exactly!"

Hi to all, as I wrote in the title, I'm a very beginner chess player (I played since I was a teenager, but never progressed much, to be honest I tried to study on book, or with people, but I am not consistent, and I have not a very logical/algorithmic mind), and I always been fascinated to Go. A friend of mine sold me a very good Goban for few euros and I started to study the basics of the game. I feel completely stupid when I play online (9x9 goban), I feel that every move I do is wrong, can't understand the logic behind it.

Do you recommend to stick with chess and try to improve it or to move to Go? Does is worth it if I'm in my 30s? (I don't aim to be a pro... Just play well and enjoy the game) Are the two games compareable? Can I transfer skills?

One of the best ways to learn the basics and affirm your understanding of the rules is to practice playing. This is best done by playing online against a computer or another person.

Playing against a computer, whether online or a real electronic chess computer, ensures that you are making correct "legal" moves. In most cases, you can take back moves to retry other moves and even learn from the computer's evaluation of your moves.

The real key, however, is to learn from your mistakes in every game. With an electronic chess game software or internet playing site such as chess.com, you'll be able to take advantage of very advanced algorithms that show you exactly where you played a weak move along with better options that you could have played instead.


The more effort you put into studying some new strategies and then applying them and learning from them - without repeating the same mistakes in game after game - the faster you're going to learn!

If you can find someone who is a much better chess player who is willing to play and then revisit the entire game, explaining their thought process and the strategies they considered ... that's the very best!

In chess, two players take turns moving white (player 1) and black (player 2) pieces on a board checkered with 64 positions. The player with the white pieces makes the first move, each piece type (e.g., knight, pawn) moves a specific way, and (except for a special move called castling) each player moves one piece each turn.

There are few move options in the opening (beginning) of a chess game, and players often stick to tried-and-true sequences of moves, called lines, which are frequently given names like Ruy Lopez and the Frankenstein-Dracula Variation. The opening lines of master and grandmaster (top-level) players are often memorized by other players for use in their own games.

Many of the results align with ideas that are common knowledge among chess players, such as the concept that playing well-known lines is generally preferable to in-the-moment strategies in the opening. The researchers suggest that their statistical approach could be applied to other games and cultural trends in areas where long-term data on choices exist.

I've read countless times, that beginners should not play the Sicilian.On the other hand, one often reads that the opening does not matter for beginners.There are many courses claiming the included lines are "easy to learn and understand", such as chessable's "Magnus Sicilian" course on the Sveshnikov variation.

Is this merely a marketing claim to sell difficult-to-play and theory-heavy variations to weaker players, or is it possible for a ~1500 player to understand the Sveshnikov Sicilian and its middle games, even against more experienced or stronger players?

Actually, I tend to believe that it is an advisable choice. I have experimented with Najdorff and Scheveningen setups and both are extremely difficult to keep track of. The flexibility in the pawn structure is just too much. At every darn move you must ask: Can I or should I push d5? or e5? Is White going to do so if I don't? If white plays it safe, how long can I wait and patiently maneuver without destroying my position myself? and so many more questions. The opening phase never seems to end!

The knight on c6. If your opponent is weaker and does not play any main line Sicilian then you take the initiative faster because you have not "wasted" tempo by first playin one-square pawn pushes like d6, and a6 as is typical of say Najdorff. Instead you have developed the knight to a natural square with central control. It is faster to take the initiative if White does not ask difficult questions! For example, in some lines when white goes for c3 to prepare a d4, I play d5 (as White's knight does not have the c3 square) and challenge the e4 pawn. This comes with 1 tempo for me because I had not played d6 initially. In response to some other slow setups by white I play g6 and then Bg7 and now I have a grip on d4 and my knight can jump to d4 -- and I have saved a tempo by not playin the now-unnecessary a6. In some of these setups I do not need to play d6 or e6 unless there is real reason for them, e.g. to develop my other knight to e7. So, I find the move 2.Nc6 very useful against non-main line Sicilians.

If your opponent does not know the theory, which is not unlikely at OP's level of play, then Black will continue with obvious and not so hard to find developing moves and have an easy game.

Given the structural damage to Black's (pawn) position, the balance is maintained only through dynamical and active (=bold) play. Black must prove its compensation. This type of play is more difficult than playing solid positions where not making blunders keeps you in the game for a good amount of time. But does any other Sicilian provide this luxury either?! (I must say that if one is trying to improve their middle game then these types of positions are a great way to push yourself.)

So, this is actually easy to learn. The first 8 move was all theory, and you just need to learn two game plans with two different moves by Black. If your opponent doesn't know the game plan, I think you'll have an advantage

But, the real problem is: there's no guarantee that your opponent will play right into the Sveshnikov Sicilian. White can play 2. Nc3 instead of 2. Nf3 (close Sicilian), or how about 3.Bg5 instead of 3.d4 (Nyezhmetdinov-Rossolimo attack). That's only 2 lines of so many more. That's the main problem with the Sicilian defense: there're just so many damn lines, and each line has its own theory.

As indicated in first answer, you cannot be sure your opponent will follow the line of a particular Sicilian. Fundamental question is whether you respond to 1 e4 with ...c5 . Although I've played in local clubs for several years I'm a low level amateur with Elo ranging between 900 & 1300. I've discovered that when you reply the Sicilian ...c5 to players under about 1600, 75 % of the time they respond with an anti-Sicilian. There's only four anti-Sicilians : Smith-Mora Gambit, the Alapin, the Grand Prix Attack and the Bb5 systems( Rossolimo & Moscow ). The latter are sort of a hybrid between an open & an anti-Sicilian. I thoroughly learned to handle these four. If my opponent steers toward an open Sicilian I just do the best I can with the Sveshnikov or the Scheveningen with Najdorf move order. After about 600 games I discovered my wins playing Black were greater than as White. Because many local players open 1 e4 and I feel so comfortable against anti-Sicilians.I suspect so many prepare and play an anti-Sicilian because they want to avoid the vast complications of an open Sicilian.

Researchers who study brain activity noted that theta waves are heightened in electroencephalograms (EEGs) taken when people are in a state of flow. Studies have shown the same high levels of theta waves in brain scans of experienced chess players during increasingly difficult chess matches. ff782bc1db
